Almost ‘Beyond’ cool

Via io9, the movie that became Batman Begins was almost based on the Batman Beyond animated series:

batman_beyond-show.jpgI loved Batman Begins, but I’d way rather have seen the origin of a twisted future Batman, working with the embittered, broken old Bats. With Stephenson’s help, the Batman Beyond movie could have been a fascinating look into Terry’s relationship with the suit that extends his capabilities, in the corrupt future world. Just as long as they left out the stuff that was added later (in Justice League Unlimited) about superspy Amanda Waller injecting Terry’s dad with a retrovirus designed to turn his sperm into Bruce Wayne’s sperm, so Terry could be Bruce’s biological son. Nobody needs a movie about Bat-sperm.

I agree. For the most part, Batman Beyond was the best of all of the recent animated versions of Batman. Only the the very first season of Batman: TAS surpasses it. But yeah, we really didn’t need the episode about the altered sperm.

And the theme music for BB is the best:
